Depending on who is interpreting it, legislation moving closer to a vote in the Texas House and Senate would either shut the door to the state ever becoming home to high-level radioactive waste or carve a path to bring it in.
Two separate but similar bills one in the House and the other in the Senate seek to lower state fees and surcharges imposed on Waste Control Specialists that operates a storage and disposal site in Andrews County, near the border with New Mexico.

USACE: Mid-Barataria meetings starting today April 6, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Starting today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LA TIG) will jointly conduct three virtual public meetings about the proposed Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project.
The meetings will allow participants to learn more about the proposed Mid-Barataria project and have feedback on the recently released Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and/or Draft Restoration Plan.
The virtual public meetings are taking place:
Meeting 1: Tuesday, April 6 from 9 – 12 p.m.
Meeting 2: Wednesday, April 7 from 1 – 4 p.m.
Meeting 3: Thursday, April 8 from 6 – 9 p.m.
The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion is one of the largest and most innovative coastal restoration efforts ever undertaken, and one of the largest environmental infrastructure projects in the history of the United States.

As part of an environmental review required under state law, the owners of Strong’s Marine were tasked with studying water quality, traffic and other environmental impacts a planned expansion could have on the community.
But in a recent letter to the Planning Board, the applicants and their consultants argued that requests made in the document are “in many instances not germane” to the actual project, which call for two new boat storage buildings at Strong’s Yacht Center one at 52,500 square feet and the other at 49,000 square feet on the Mattituck property zoned Marine II and R80. There are already 69,245 square feet of boatyard buildings on the property.
